To start out I still have scars from my Ariat boots. I prefer the Grand Prix boots. That being said these boots are ver popular my trainer loves hers. Alot of people say these are the most comfortable boots they've ever had. I'd say if you have a easy to fit foot then you probably wouldn't run into a problem. But if you have a hard to fit (at all) foot then I would try a different brand.

Pros: Its very attractive

Cons: Its a pain to break in

I have had these boots for over a year and wear them while both riding and teaching. They are comfortable enough to wear for long hours in the saddle and can stand through several lessons in a row. They fit my wide feet and calf very well, however I am trading them for a pair of Custom Dehner boots.

Pros: Easy to fit, comfortable, look great

Cons: not custom quality
